In Saturday's win over East Carolina, Sebastien King partnered with Philip Kloc to help the Mountaineers win the doubles point. King then went on to secure the match-winning point with a straight-set win at No. 4 singles.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Appalachian State's Sebastien King has been named the Southern Conference Men's Tennis
Player of the Week for all matches February 13-19 as named by the conference
office on Tuesday.

King posted wins in both singles and doubles play as the
Mountaineers topped East Carolina 5-1 on Saturday.

King opened the match at the top doubles position with
teammate Philip Kloc. The ASU tandem pulled out a late break point in an 8-6
win over ECU's Joran Vliegen and Nicholas Soriano to help the Mountaineers
claim the doubles point in the match.

A native of Montreal, Quebec, King earned a straight-sets
win over Niels Cleeren (6-2, 6-2) at No. 4 singles to even his singles record
at 2-2 on the season. His win gave the Mountaineers the match-clinching fourth
point in the contest.

Other top performers in the Southern Conference included The
Citadel's Josh Cook, Davidson's Connor Evins, and Georgia Southern's Marco
Osorio.

King's Player of the Week nod is the first of his career.

The Mountaineers return to action this weekend for three
tough matches. The Apps will travel to Boiling Springs, N.C. to face
Gardner-Webb on Thursday before heading west to take on No. 74 ETSU on
Saturday. Appalachian returns home on Sunday for a 11 a.m. match against
